    Mezze spreads, loved the fish one and hummus
    Yvonne M.

    Amazing delicious authentic Greek food! We went for the prix fixe lunch family style and it was so much food, they gave us extra dishes to try too! Everything was great, I really enjoyed the Greek spread - salmon dip , hummus, baked halloumi cheese , octopus, shrimp, mussels , branzino - so fantastic, it was an enjoyable birthday! Staff were very attentive and friendly!

    Have been wanting to try this for a while. I would say it's a pretty nice vibe, kinda feels like Greece on a random Astoria street. Service was good, they let us take our time and finish our food. Onto the food, it was pretty good. We got one of the white fishes and it went well with the capers and olive oil. Calamari was pretty good, honestly felt pretty good eating it since it was deep fired in oil. Lamb chops were really good too. Overall, would definitely recommend especially on a nice summer/fall day.

    6 of us made a reservation along with a baby, and they were able to provide a high chair. It's relatively small and all the tables were packed even on a Wed night. They started us off with complimentary pita (came hot!) And hummus. - Calamari app was my favorite thing here. We got it fried and it was executed perfectly with the meat still so tender and chewy. - Moussaka was surprisingly good too, the best version I've had so far. A good portion and a nice ratio of all the different ingredients - Lamb chops were good as well but I only had a few pieces (4 pieces in total) so I couldn't eat too much of it. - Grilled octopus was good too. It came presliced and I prefer it whole but it was well cooked and not rubbery - Branzino was standard and fine too. We got the bigger version. - The steamed Mussels and the Zucchini croquettes were not bad but wouldn't get again. Sides: giant beans (love these but I prefer Bahari's version), French fries (shoestring, solid version), and lemon potatoes (standard, might get something else next time)

    This is my third time here. I highly recommend this place if you want quality Greek food! They serve fresh hummus and pita. The octopus as a starter was delicious. I also like the Mousaka- it's like a soft Greek lasagna but no pasta just ground meat and cream and eggplant. Also recommend the cocktails - the Le Mon was perfect- a vodka lemonade with just the right amount of alcohol. They sat us outside in their heated area and it was a warm November night. I asked for the heater to be turned off as it was directly above my seat. They were very considerate. There was a loud evangelist man shouting on a microphone on the street and they asked if we wanted to move but we decided to stay since he moved shortly afterwards. The food is pricey but worth it! Super stuffed and each time I always take home food.

    Smaller than I expected, but the shieftalia was better than I expected never having it before. Right amount of flavor and taste and easy to cut up. Bread was fine. Fries were fine too-but sharply cut. The tahini sauce was great! Ordered as take-out. Also, I did ask for utensils but none were provided.

    Octopus was one to remember and would recommend. Same with the brazino. Koupepia which was the vine leaves was also good but small for the portion size. Mousaka was okay, seemed too much cream for our taste. Would come back to try again though. Seafood was great. Ambiance outside was a bit darker than would have liked though. Actually got a slight splinter from the chairs... so be careful. Service was good. Was celebrating a friend's birthday and we saw another table receive a cake with a candle while our friend did not, though was indicated on our reservation.

    Ate here today for lunch and dinner after work as a substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 234 Q. I had brought and ate the chicken souvlaki skewers with fries and baklava that it had tasted really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive, pleasant and friendly. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

    Sooooo so Yummy! Great experience and very cute outdoor eating area. Food & Service both

    Headed to Astoria for the afternoon, and of course, one has to get some Greek food while in the area. Booked Aliada after seeing some high reviews and after passing by it. The place is super pretty with a very homey Mediterranean vibe. The indoor seating isn't that big, but they also have a lovely outdoor seating area perfect for a summer day. They immediately served us up some free bread and yellow lentil(?) dip. This was good! Also just gotta love a free bread sitch. 1. Greek salad: I've had many Greek salads, but for some reason this hits different. The dolmas that came on top were outstanding- probably one of the best ones I've had. Exquisite juicy tomatoes. Yum. 2. Grilled octopus: damn. I don't know how they got it this tender. Great char on the outside and so soft on the inside. Not chewy at all. Damn this was good. 3. Chicken kebab: this was probably a bit of a letdown. The chicken was tough and overcooked. Expected much more since one knows how the Greeks can grill their meats well. The tzatziki sauce on the side was good though. 4. Roasted Greek veg: free side with the chicken. This was a generous portion for a side and really good. Chunks of aubergine, potatoes, etc. stewed in a tomato sauce. Overall, food was great (save for the chicken which was overcooked). Would definitely still come back to try their other stuff since they all looked good! Vibe was great. Honestly one of the better Greek restos in NY! And prices were reasonable

    stopped by here on a Saturday around 2pm and was quickly able to get seated - they have indoor and some outdoor seating in a heated and covered patio. the service is very quick and the waiters were all nice. the restaurant is small and cute but has a great atmosphere! highly recommend the halloumi fries and the baked feta, they were an absolute hit at our table!

    A great find in an area with lots of good Greek options. The ambiance is classy but unpretentious, the service is great without feeling hovered over, and the food was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and well plated. We started off with a Greek (horiatiki) salad and shared a halloumi dish to start (one of our favorite cheeses). Then we split the branzino and mixed grill which included pork and chicken souvlaki, lamb, shieftalia and of course more halloumi cheese. We finished off with baklava, which was also amazing. Highly recommend.

    Restaurant has a outdoor and indoor seating area. Service was great. Our server was very attentive. Food was all cooked perfectly. The steamed mussels and grilled Octopus were perfect. Prices resonable Nice hidden gem in Astoria

    We schlepped over to here during a snow squall, and while the food wasn't quite good enough to justify doing that again by choice, I'm not totally mad I did. The Shieftalia was succulent and tasty. And the 600g of roasted Branzino will satisfy even the most metrically challenged American in terms of tender fish and lemony flavor. Simple, unpretentious Greek/Cypriot fare without all the pricey bells and whistles one finds in Manhattan--THAT'S the reason to come to Astoria. Also that grilled pita and white bean dip is on point.

The ones we had been to in the past usually allows you to also pick different type of cooking style or seasoning but this place only cooks it their way. It's good for people who are indecisive but disappointing for people who want variety of flavor. They usually have a section of appetizers and drinks you can order on a separate menu as well. The staffs were very low energies when we visited on a weekend night. The overall ambiance and interaction made us feel a little uncomfortable. We ordered: - eggplant dip - fries - Greek salad (large) - cooked fish - calamari - octopus Honestly I was so disappointed with the food. It didn't taste as fresh and was overall too salty. The eggplant dip had a weird taste. Friend fries were not as crispy and unevenly distributed portions of salt. The calamari was nothing special. The fish was okay, and the octopus was so salty we actually sent back the dish. It was very difficult to enjoy it. The staff was so accommodating and actually took the dish off our bill. (Thank you!! - great customer service!). My favorite item was probably the Greek salad, but then again it's hard to mess up a salad. I would say this is my least favorite counter order style seafood restaurant in Astoria. My friend said great things about it prior to my visit and I really wish I would have liked it.
